LAMBREQUlN-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,259, dated July 28, 1885.

(No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J ULIUs BERBEOKER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lambrequin-Pins, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to animproved pin for quickly and conveniently suspending lambrequins, curtains, and the like from ourtain-pole rings; and the invention consists of a lambrequinpin made of a main plate having a downwardly-bent hook at its upper end and a sleeve at the lower end, to which a- U- shaped fastening-pin is hinged the ends of which are retained by guards at the upper part of the main plate.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front view of my improved 1ambrequin-pin, shown as suspended from the eye of a curtain-pole ring; and Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents the body or main plate of my improved lambrequin-pin, which is provided at its upper end with a downwardly bent hook, B, that is passed through the eye a at the lower part of a curtain-pole ring, 0. The hook B is made concavo-convex or corrugated to impart additional strength to the same. The lower end of the main plate A is bent up, so as to form a sleeve, I), to which a U-shaped fasteningpin, 0, is hinged. The ends of the fasteningpin Oare retained by forwardly-bent front guards, dd, which, like the hook B and sleeve 1). are made integral with the main plate A. By pressing the ends of the pin 0 toward each other they can be readily released from the guards, and thereby the pin moved in a downward direction, as shown in dotted lines in My improved lambrcquin-pin has the advantage that the lambrequin or curtain can be suspended close to the eye of the curtain-pole rings, so that the pin is almost entirely covered and out of sight. The lambrequin or curtain is retained in a secure manner by the pins, which are less liable to get detached from the eyes of the rings than the wire pins heretofore in use.

I am aware that garment-clasps have been provided with a pin attachment hinged .to the lower plate of the clasp and retained thereon by ears, and I do not claim this feature. I am also aware that hooks for eyeglass holders have been made of sheet-metal hooks combined with safety-pins, and I therefore do not claim these features broadly.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent Alambrequin-pin composed of a main plate having a downwardly-bent rear hook at the upper end, a bent-up sleeve at the lower end,

and forward-bent guards at the upper end of the plate, said hook, sleeve, and guards being made integral with the main plate, and of a U shaped fastening-pin hinged to the sleeve and adapted to be retained by the guards, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIUS BERBEOKER.
